Here is a duet from “Sangam” picturised on Raj Kapoor and Vyjyanti Mala. The people involved in creating this song are the usual suspects, viz Shankar Jaikishan, Shailendra, Mukesh and Lata. This song is a party song, and this movie seemed to have quite a few party songs, I do not know why.

Considering that it is Shailendra who wrote the lyrics and Shankar Jaikishan who composed the music, it could as well be Mukesh singing for Raj Kapoor, but here it is Kishore Kumar singing for himself in “Rangoli”.

This song was an absolutely iconic song circa 1960s ever since I started following Bollywood music as a child. I had no idea which movie this song was from, but this is one song that I have nver forgotten since.

Singer is Mukesh, lyricist is Shailendra and composers are Shankar Jaikishan. One may be forgiven to think that it must be a song picturised on Raj Kapoor. But no, this is a song from “Hariyali aur Raasta”, a movie featuring Manoj Kumar.

Manna Dey was an outsider as far as singing mainstream songs were concerned. Unlike other singers, he was reduced to singing unusual songs viz songs for lesser characters in the movie, viz comedian etc. Difficult songs, unlikely to get popular with lay public viz semi classical songs were also given to him to sing. In fact, many of such semi classical songs were included in the movies to provide comic relief.

Rafi has sung hundreds of absolutely iconic songs. It is difficult to keep track of all of them. I am posting them in this blog one by one. Hopefully I will have all such songs in this blog in future. And I am sure that it is going to be a sizeable number running into hundreds, if not more.

There are songs that I heard three decades ago, liked them and then forgot all about them. I have been re-discovering quite a few such songs now a days, as I keep mentioning in my posts.

I may regard myself as a bollywood music buff, espdecially of songs circa 1970 or so. But there are still songs from that era which I never heard when they were first released.

Here is another superb Rafi song. This song is from a 1966 movie called “Gaban”. Though it is a very well known song, but for some reason its video is not available, and the few clips available show school / college albums with this song playing in the background. Here is this song without such irritants and with the photo of Rafi instead.
